<TITLE>13. Par 139-149</TITLE>L-139 So he tried to take some carnal impersonator, somebody that tried, went around and tried to impersonate the gift that God give him, to make it look like it was some kind of a cheap outfit.

L-140 But Moses wants you all to know, this afternoon, as he testifies, that no matter how shady that the pastor tried to make his gift look like that it was shady and some kind of a cheap magician trick, he knew it was the Scriptures, because It was the Voice of God that told him. And he stood firm. And he wants you... to let you know, that it was a long time after that, but God kept His Word, and brought him right back to the place to where He said he would come, with the children of Israel.
Moses, step down.

L-141   Let the defense Witness call another witness. And we're going to call Joshua. Joshua has a wonderful testimony here, that he'd like to give.

L-142 He stilled the people, he said. When Moses called out, one out of every denomination, to send them over to--to the promised land, to--to find out whether the land was really there or not. They just been told that. By faith they had walked that far.

L-143 So Moses pulled out a Presbyterian, Lutheran, Pentecostal, and all. He got one of them out, each one, and took them over to the promised land. And when two of them come back with the evidence, you know what happened? The whole group begin to doubt it. When they seen the opposition was so great, the other side was so great, "Why," they said, "we look like grasshoppers, up the side of them, them Amalekites and--and Hittites, and so forth." And said, that, "We--we, why, we look like grasshoppers. We can't do it."

L-144   And Joshua wants to testify, "I stilled the people." He said, "Be still," at Kadesh-barnea, the judgment seat. He said, "Keep still, all of you. Let me bring your... this Word, to you. God told us, down yonder, through Moses and through... or through Abraham, that this land was ours. He sent a Pillar of Fire among us, that talked to our prophet here in a burning bush. And what this prophet has said has been true. And God told us He'd already give us the land. We are more than able to take it, 'cause it already belongs to us." He said, "I stilled the people, and got them quiet."

L-145 But you know what? It was forty years later before they took the land. They were only about two-days journey, from Kadesh, they'd been over in the promised land.

L-146   May I stop here a minute? You Presbyterians, Methodists, and Baptists, or you Pentecostals, fifty years ago we'd have got the promised Land, but you got to fussing among one another, making organizations out from one side, and this one getting this, and this one and getting this, and a new revelation, instead of following the Word. And now we been fifty years this side the full Promise.

L-147 But, remember, it was forty years, but Joshua wants you all to know that God kept His Word, with a brand new generation. He took the promised land just as it was promised, 'cause he stilled the people on the Word of God, to let them know that God made the promise, that this prophet they were following was not a false prophet, because the things that he was doing was exactly with the Scripture. No matter how falsely Pharaoh said it was, how falsely magicians try to say it was, how that they could do the same thing, and everybody do the same thing.

L-148   And Joshua wants you to know that there was a man in there, want to make an organization out of them. His name was Dathan, and he and Korah. And they raised up, said, "There's more holy men than you."

L-149 God never does deal with groups. It's individuals. He cannot change. What God does, the first time, He has to ever remain that same one.
